Meghan with father Thomas Markle

“We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry. Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person," they said. "To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a great source of joy for us as parents.”

The details of the engagement were released by Clarence House earlier today, with the official Twitter account sharing that the couple got engaged in London early November. The two will marry in Spring 2018.
